The saga continues in the now epic battle between Sony and George Hotz. Having explained what he was doing in South America, PS3 hacker GeoHot now seems to have gotten his much-needed breather and is now ready to fire back at Sony.

The most recent claim of Sony is that they have now proved that GeoHot does have a PSN account, contrary to what he told to court. Presenting documents, Sony alleged that GeoHot created a PSN account back in March 2010, going by the handle of "blickmanic".

This account was traced by using the product code of the PS3 unit, which was then traced back to the store where it was bought, and then ultimately, to the address of the one who purchased it. Their findings: the PS3 wherein the PSN account was made can be found in GeoHot's residence.

Here comes the (latest) twist. GeoHot's lawyers say in response that Sony's findings are in no way conclusive because although the PS3 unit might have been traced back to their client's address, that does not necessarily prove that the PSN account was made.

How is this so? Simple. A neighbor who borrowed the said PS3 unit was the one who created the blickmanic account. The said neighbor explains thus in the reply submitted by GeoHot's party, "See, I live next door to George Hotz and we've always been good friends. At the time I bought the console, I was waiting to be connected to the internet by my ISP so I asked Hotz if I could use his for a while. Good neighbors, that's all."

I think this has been posted already, but I had not heard that Hotz lawyers are defending his claims of not owning a PSN account, and his neighbor friend for having the balls to drag himself in this mess, and continue to say that it's his account. Now THAT'S a true friend!

i just wish they would stop the its mine no its not arguing and get to the real case

DO WE OWN OUR PS3 OR DO SONY?
